Summit Energy, a leading solar installation company in the Northeast region, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the Interfaith Social Services 50th anniversary “Stop the Stigma” 5K event. The event, held at the Kennedy Center in North Quincy, raises funds for the New Directions Counseling Center while focusing on combating stigmas around mental health and addiction.
The “Stop the Stigma” 5K has evolved over the years from a small church-sponsored walk to a full-fledged race, attracting over 800 participants annually. The goal is to promote awareness and support for those facing mental illness and addiction. Rick Doane, the Executive Director of Interfaith Social Services, expressed his excitement for the record turnout and the community’s dedication to breaking down stigmas associated with mental health.
Summit Energy has been a steadfast supporter of Interfaith Social Services, contributing donations and encouraging employee volunteerism. The company recognizes the importance of addressing mental health and addiction issues, especially considering the rising numbers of opioid-related overdoses in Massachusetts.
The New Directions Counseling Center, supported by Interfaith, offers counseling services to uninsured and underinsured individuals on a sliding scale fee system. In addition, new clients receive their first four sessions free of charge, aiming to remove financial barriers to treatment.
Dallin Maw, the Cofounder and Chief Elevate Officer of Summit Energy, highlighted the company’s commitment to people and the environment. Through their participation in the “Run for Rich” team, consisting of Summit employees, they pay tribute to Rich Ford, a highly regarded member of their team who tragically passed away prematurely.
Summit Energy is dedicated to promoting clean, renewable solar energy as a means of benefiting communities and the planet at large. With over 4,000 customers already benefiting from their services, Summit Energy continues to educate homeowners about the financial and environmental advantages of going solar.
Interfaith Social Services, founded in 1947, strives to provide resources for South Shore residents to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Their initiatives range from operating a food pantry and providing mental health and addiction treatment to preventing homelessness and offering budget counseling.

One current market trend in the renewable energy industry, which Summit Energy operates in, is the increasing demand for solar installations. As more individuals and businesses recognize the financial and environmental advantages of going solar, companies like Summit Energy are well-positioned to benefit from this growing market.
Forecast for the solar energy industry suggests continued growth in the coming years. Factors such as government incentives, decreasing costs of solar panels, and increasing environmental consciousness among consumers contribute to the positive outlook for the sector. Summit Energy’s focus on promoting clean, renewable solar energy aligns with this trend.
However, there are key challenges and controversies associated with the solar energy industry. One of the challenges is the intermittent nature of solar power, as it relies on the availability of sunlight. This can pose difficulties for energy grid management and necessitates the integration of energy storage systems. Additionally, some controversies stem from the potential impact on local ecosystems and the visual aesthetics of solar installations.
Despite these challenges, the advantages of solar energy are significant. Solar power is a clean and renewable energy source, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and decreasing carbon emissions. It also reduces energy costs for consumers in the long run.
